The Open Lighting Architecture (OLA) is an open source framework which provides applications with a mechanism to send and receive [[DMX512]] & [[RDM]] commands using hardware devices and DMX over IP protocols. It enables [[:Category:Controllers | software controllers]] to communicate with hardware either via Ethernet or over traditional DMX512 networks. The [[Open Lighting Projects List]] lists some of the places and projects where OLA is used.

OLA can also convert DMX512 data sent using DMX over IP protocols from one format to another, allowing devices from different manufacturers to interact with one another. For example a [[Strand_Lighting|Strand]] Lighting Console using ShowNet can send DMX512 to an [[Enttec]] [[DmxEtherGate MKII|EtherGate]]. When combined with a physical DMX interface such as the [[DMX USB Pro]], OLA can send and receive data from wired DMX512 networks.

==Main Features ==
 
−
 
−
* Supports a variety of DMX over IP Protocols and a dozen different USB DMX devices.
 
−
* Priority based merging of different sources.
 
−
* Built in web based configuration including:
 
−
** [[RDM]] controller
 
−
** Drag and drop RDM patching
 
−
** Custom UI for mobile devices (iPhone, Android)
 
−
* Command line tools which enable scripting of configuration and RDM commands.
 
−
* Python, C++, Objective-C++ APIs for developers to build their own applications.
 
−
* Runs on Mac OS X (ppc, i386, x86_64) & Linux ( i386, x86-64, arm).
 
−
* Source code is open and available at no cost.

The Open Lighting Architecture (OLA) is part of the Open Lighting Project and provides applications with a mechanism to send and receive DMX512 & RDM commands using hardware devices and DMX over IP protocols. This enables software lighting controllers to communicate with hardware either via Ethernet or traditional DMX512 networks.

OLA can also convert DMX512 data sent using DMX over IP protocols from one format to another, allowing devices from different manufacturers to interact with one another. For example a Strand Lighting Console using ShowNet can send DMX512 to an Enttec EtherGate. When combined with a physical DMX interface such as the DMX USB Pro, OLA can send and receive data from wired DMX512 networks.
